Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Prostate cancer management requires effective and safe surgical options.
  • Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is an evolving technique for radical prostatectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of RALP in the initial 100 cases at a New Zealand institution.
  • To assess perioperative and postoperative outcomes of RALP for localized prostate cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection on 100 patients undergoing RALP.
  • Monitoring of perioperative metrics and postoperative functional outcomes.

Main Results:

  • No conversions to open surgery; low blood loss (281 ml) and transfusion rate (1%).

  • Short hospital stay (1.1 nights) and significant reduction in console time over cases.
  • Positive margin rate of 18% overall (8% for pT2). Functional outcomes: 68% pad-free at 12 months, 12% regained potency at 1 year.

    • Conclusions:

    • RALP is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated procedure for prostate cancer.
    • Early outcomes compare favorably with international RALP series.
